Museum. According to the Director of the Museum Karo Vardanian,
the exhibition encompasses the Armenian literature, dramatic and
cinema art, and music of the 18-20 centuries, President;s Press

The exhibited pieces are related not only to the hundreds of devotees
of the Armenian literature and arts but also about educational,
scientific and cultural, literary, musical establishments and theater
groups, unions and editorial staffs of prominent periodicals which
had their imprint on the Armenian reality
After observing the exhibition, the President of Armenia at the
Komitas Hall of the Museum awarded Volkmar Gantzhorn (Germany) with
the Movses Khorenatsi Medal for his remarkable work in presenting
to the world the Armenian carpet weaving craft and promotion of the
international recognition of the Armenian carpets. Volkmar Gantzhorn
has arrived to Armenia to participate at the presentation of the
Armenian translation of his book "The Christian Oriental Carpet: a
presentation of its development, iconologically and iconographically,
from its beginnings to the 18th century" which is organized in the
framework of the "Armenian Knot: Traditions of Carpet Weaving Art"
international conference. The Director of Armenia's Museum of History
Anelka Grigorian presented to Serzh Sargsyan and other guests of the
exhibition the author of the mentioned above book and his work. She
noted that the book of 534 pages which has an encyclopedic value is
unprecedented in its demonstration of over a thousand of samples
and drawings. Besides being reprinted twice in German language,
it has been printed in thousands copies in English, French, and
Italian. The inauguration of the Armenian translation is a cultural
event; the book is a unique manual of the carpet weaving art, a
single invitation to the contemporary and future scientists to bring
forward and explain various issues existing in the Armenian history
and culture. Anelka Grigorian also quoted the author, Doctor Volkmar
Gantzhorn, "The ornamental treasury of the oriental carpets is part
of the Armenian identity and should be treated as such." The German
scientist expressed gratitude for such a high award and spoke about
the motives behind this significant undertaking.
In the Museum, the President attended also the performance of the
Traditional Musical Instruments ensemble.
During the tour of five exhibition halls, the Director of the Museum
Karo Vardanian presented works which have been conducted in the Museum
and its five branches in recent years through the state assistance,
works currently underway, and spoke about permanent exhibitions.
After his visit to the E. Charets Museum of Literature and Arts,
President Serzh Sargsyan will conduct a meeting at the Ministry of
Culture with its leadership
